Video embeds are automatic with recent version of WordPress.
For Vimeo, YouTube, etc., just paste in the URL - WordPress takes care of the embedding.
List of compatible video embeds at: codex.wordpress.org/Embeds
We can also do galleries of videos with:
- the Video Gallery plugin [KGVID] shortcode
- For a playlist of videos, the [KGVID] or the built-in [playlist] shortcodes both work - see the example playlist page *
- the built-in [gallery] shortcode *
- The [embed] or [video] shortcodes allow for setting parameters (size, "poster," action, etc.).
* For videos on same server - the "Add Media" pop-up dialogue allows selecting media for the gallery or playlist
Notes on particular video sources:
- Vimeo - they try to force using their player, so it is difficult (but it is possible?) to get the actual mp4 URL to use in the video/gallery/KGVID shortcodes. Embed with "vimeo.com" (not player.vimeo.com) and the video number, e.g. vimeo.com/111003405
- YouTube - also tries to prevent using our local player - embed with the URL
- LawMedia - URL can be obtained from the media library edit screen. Just paste in the URL or use in any of the shortcodes.
